AB  - Over  the  past  25  years,  transesophageal  echocardiography  (TEE)  has  become  an  integral  part  of  the  care  received  by  patients  undergoing  heart  surgery.  The  interest  in  the  perioperative  application  of  TEE  (PTE)  continues  to  broaden  and  now  includes,  to  name  just  a  few,  liver  transplantation,  lung  transplantation,  major  vascular  surgery,  and  persistent  hemodynamic  instability  in  the  operating  room.  Anesthesiologists  have  been  actively  involved  with  PTE  from  its  inception,  and  some  degree  of  training  in  PTE  has  become  an  integral,  accepted  component  of  all  anesthesiology  residencies.  The  program  requirements  for  anesthesiology  training  state  that  residents  should  have  “significant  experience  with  …  the  use  of  TEE.”1  This  chapter  reviews  the  issue  of  training  for  anesthesiologists  in  PTE  and  discusses  the  development  of  certification  in  this  area.
